With the questions arising on the religion section I thought this would be helpful for our brothers and sisters alike. HBG: Question: "What should I be looking for in a boyfriend" HBG: Question: "What should I look for in a Christian girlfriend?"

4.Able and willing to provide: The Bible says that a man who doesn’t provide for his family is worse than an unbeliever (1 Timothy 5: cool . Provision doesn’t necessarily mean “bringing in a lot of money.” The issue is whether he takes responsibility for the welfare of his wife and children. It is important for women to grasp the seriousness of this verse. A man that doesn’t want to provide is very hard for a woman to respect, and if a wife struggles to respect her husband, marital troubles will go beyond the material. A woman’s respect for her husband and a man’s love for his wife are interdependent and life-giving to a marriage (Ephesians 5:25-32). Nice piece, but I didn't see 'boyfriend' in this number. Why? You forgot to include it? 1 Like |

Now I know why many christian Nigerian girls are either weeping because of no husband or cursing their married life. Goodluck finding A man who is both a saint and a hero. Keep looking for prince charming. Fairytale nonsense Men that say that they are, are usually frauds. The best men among us are not perfect. 9 Likes |

HumbledbYGrace: we are all not perfect but we can't just settle foe every tom, dick and harry I didnt even comment on the most irritating part. So you are indirectly recommending that my christian girlfriend should not marry me because of religion? You people just post crap that you dont even know anything about. Do you know how many successful and happy interreligious marriages exist? 1 Like |

HumbledbYGrace: That's up to her to decide if you are tom, or dick or harry. Further complaints; HumbledbYGrace: You havent read the bible because an evenly matched relationship between men and women is impossible according to scripture; I CORINTHIANS 11:2-10… Woman created for man. 14:34 Women must be silent in churches. EPHESIANS 5:22-24 Wives must submit to husbands in everything. COLOSSIANS 3:18 Wives submit to husbands. I TIMOTHY 2:11-15 Woman must not have authority – she must be silent. Women can be saved with childbearing. 1 Like |

HumbledbYGrace: Finally, a Christian boyfriend is one with whom a woman is evenly matched. First, in the spiritual sense – a couple’s relationship with God should be the primary factor in any relationship, and they should be matched in that regard. Believers are commanded to marry other believers (2 Corinthians 6:14), so there is no reason to be dating an unbeliever. But a couple should also be evenly matched in the more practical aspects, having compatible temperaments, similar energy levels, and shared life-goals and interests. These things add tremendously to happiness in a relationship Logicboy...stop reading between the lines please! Would you marry somebody who you don't share interests with? Someone who would be noisy while praying? IMO I think your girlfriend doesn't really know what she is getting herself into; because by the look of things. After some time you will tell her that she is noisy when she worships or pray in your absence. You will tell her that there are more important things to be done at home when she has to go to church....let's face it! Your a dictator and I feel for your woman 2 Likes |
Re: Things To Look For In A Christian Boyfriend/Girlfriend by MacDaddy01: 4:10pm On Mar 20, 2013 |
HumbledbYGrace: I am not a dictator.........I am a DICKtator. On a serious note, I dont bother my GF when she prays. She can go to church but she can not drag me. I live my life as an example and she can follow a better life. My house is extra clean on sunday mornings and there is excellent food on sunday afternoon. When she is in church, she is thinking of coming to eat in my clean house As for you, you will marry a man that feels that it is his god given right to lord over you. Happy married life 1 Like |

@ OP: It is naïve to think that it is only Christians who have only good character albeit that isn't what you are saying. You must realise that there are people of good character who aren't Christians (other religions, deist or atheists). You, of course, should also know that there are Christians of so vile a character. |

I am a christian....a follower of Christ and a believer of the gospel. I was talking to my fellow christian sisters. Let them speak for themselves dear. In this day and age, we are privilaged to choose the person we want to marry...there is courtship. Where we learn about our other halfs character, there is counselling (don't know if I got the word right) where we learn also about ourselves. I will not talk about an unbeliever, or talk for an unbeliever because I am not ONE. I will not MARRY one, you know, we marry in our own circle. 6 Likes |

When I saw that OP was Female, I conclude she is drawing up the chat for the kind of man she wants. all your points are not enough to describe a true Christain. It is a Life. not drafted on NL, it is deep and You cannot quntify it in just these few lines. Modern Christianity is fraud. it needs these teaching Real Christianity is a life It is taught by the spirit and written by mere admirers like OP |

Uyi Iredia: How can you mix Koran and Bible? Who told you the first couple of Lagos are happy? Are you an insider? I'm not saying that they're not happy, but in marriage, appearance may be widely different from reality. Which religion will the children practice? |
